Prep Time20 minutes
Servings: 0.3 Cups

Ingredients 

  • 1 teaspoon ground Nori (toasted seaweed that is used for some types of sushi)
  • 2 teaspoons white sesame seeds
  • 2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon dried orange peel
  • 2 tablespoons red pepper chili flakes
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Sichuan or Sansho peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger powder

Instructions

  • Pre-heat a large skillet over medium low heat on your stove. Add the sesame seeds, chili flakes and peppercorns to the pan. Toast for 2 to 3 minutes stirring often and ensuring that they don't burn. Pour on a plate to cool.
  • Add the orange peel to the pan and toast for 2 minutes. Pour onto the plate and let cool.
  • Once all of the ingredients are completely cooled down, grind them in a spice grinder. Work in batches if needed. If the sesame seeds don't completely turn into powder form, this is completely fine.
  • Mix the spices together well and store in an airtight container until needed. If stored properly in a cool dark pantry, it will keep its freshness for around 2 months.
